Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Bernard Jacobowitz reveal a mix of well-maintained amenities and management challenges. While buildings are generally clean with good pest control and attractive amenities like gyms and rooftops, many tenants report issues with high electricity bills, poor soundproofing, and occasional maintenance delays. Package theft and building security concerns are frequently mentioned, alongside slow or unresponsive management in certain cases. Some residents appreciate responsive management teams in other buildings, though frustrations with elevator breakdowns and negligence persist. Prospective renters should anticipate a decent living environment but remain cautious about management's responsiveness and building upkeep.
